Count Pandenolf of Capua

Count Pandenolf of Capua (830-882) was the Count of Capua from 862 to 882, succeeding Count Pando of Capua and preceding Count Lando III of Capua.

Biography
Pandenolf was born in 830 to the House of Capua, a dynasty of Catholic Lombards. He was the son of Count Pando of Capua, and he succeeded him as count in 862 on his death. However, in 863 he was deposed by bishop Count Lando II of Capua, and Count Lando III of Capua succeeded Lando II in opposing Pandenolf, who wanted the throne back. Pandenolf attempted to use Pope John VIII as leverage against his enemies, and he seized control of much of Naples from Docibilis I of Gaeta after he had an issue with the pope over his alliance with the Saracens. Pandenolf gained much territory, and on his death in 882 Lando III succeeded him.
